Which Disinfectant Is Right For Me?
regulatory review
Food safety has made its way to the forefront of the US governments agenda for the first time in decades
because of recent Salmonella outbreaks in peanut butter, eggs and various vegetables. The Food Safety
and Modernization Act was signed into law in early January and it is designed to focus on the prevention
of food-borne illnesses. Although dietary supplements are regulated by specific cGMPs, these new
regulations will apply to dietary supplement manufacturers too. A large portion of this bill requires
manufacturers to devise plans such as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) to locate
problematic areas and produce ways to eliminate or reduce the hazard. In doing so, the proper selection of
disinfecting agent(s) is an important part of the process as they provide a way to reduce contamination.
